Thursdays | 6:00 – 7:15pm | Gen Kelsang Chokyi & Guest Teachers

Is it possible to solve problems with loving kindness? Is this being unrealistic and too simplistic? When we understand where our problems come from and learn how to use logical, wisdom methods to identify and then reduce obstacles within our own mind, it’s completely realistic and doable. 


July 3 - What’s the problem maker?

July 11 - Mistaken Perspectives 

July 18 - Perseverance with Confidence

July 25 - Gather All Blame into One

July 31 - Solving Problems with Love


You don't need to be Buddhist to benefit from these practical teachings. Each class includes a relaxing breathing meditation, a teaching, a contemplative meditation, and a closing dedication. Classes can be attended individually or as a series.

The Thursday night meditation class is taught by John Hammond during the summer.

 This series is based on the book The New Eight Steps to Happiness by
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
